OOC: Hey Nigma, why don't you just pop in? There are a lot of Pikachu in the forests around us, and you could jump out of a bush like the other wild pokemon have so far.
Hiroko
------------
"Um-hm, so you want to be 'traveling buddies'," Hiroko said in a calm voice, "Well, alright, I suppose I could hang out with you two while I get a bit stronger with my pokemon training."
She had no idea that what she said could be taken as rude or uncaring; to her it was getting down to business. Bulbasaur was certainly taken with the two boys, she seemed a sucker for compliments.
{Oh, I don't know about strong and powerful...,} she replied to them, blushing a bit.
"Let's get going then, we aren't going to accomplish anything by standing around catching mediocre pokemon," Hiroko said abruptly, "Hold on a moment while I gather my things."
{Please excuse her, oh... I wish they could understand me so that I could at least apologize for Hiroko's obviously rude behavior...,} Bulbasaur mumbled aloud.
When Hiroko had come back, she stopped for a moment as she heard some rustling in the bushes behind them. Hiroko wasn't about to let someone else catch this wild pokemon again, so she leaped forward and commanded Bulbasaur.
"Bulbasaur, Tackle that bush straight on!" Hiroko shouted, pointing to the bush. Bulbasaur whipped around and raced forward as she was told, ramming into something along the way.
{Oh!} a voice squeaked from the bush, and fell out with a thud on the ground. It was a female Nidoran, probably the companion of the male that Yuri had captured. She looked badly winded from the Tackle, but got up looking a bit angry that she had been assaulted by Bulbasaur.
"Now, another Tackle should-- huh?!" Hiroko cut off, watching as the Nidoran had slashed her claws at Bulbasaur's face. Bulbasaur jumped sideways, but missed getting away completely and got a few scratches to the cheek.
"Bulbasaur, that's not gonna be good enough, quick-- Nidoran rely on their speed, so slow her down by kicking that dirt up with a Tackle!" Hiroko called, looking down at the slightly muddy dirt.
Bulbasaur rammed herself at the ground, and dirt covered up Nidoran's front, making her busy with cleaning herself rather than focusing on the battle.
"Tackle once more!" Hiroko commanded, and Bulbasaur obeyed.
Nidoran was knocked aside, and Hiroko tossed her pokeball through the air. It bonked against Nidoran, and sucked her into it.
Hiroko smiled a bit. "Good job Bulbasaur," she turned to the two boys, "Now the three of us are even. I shall call my Nidoran "Holland"," she paused, "Holland because I once owned a rabbit of the same name."
Bulbasaur looked up expecting her to get a name, but none came. Hiroko did notice this though, and looked down at her dinosaur-like pokemon.
"I'm still thinking of your name," she replied, a flicker of a smile appearing.
